Surprises are always nice! It already feels like I’ve won, at least judging from the happy messages I’ve received – thanks for everyone! And no, I’m not practising my red carpet walk and speech. No, I’m not going to stalk Trent or Hans at the Awards. I

t would be very un-Finnish. Very uncool. Talking of which: right now I know something about coolness: it’s -1°C outside and the lawn is frozen, and the wind coming in from the sea brings some extra to it. Brrrrr.

It’s been a while since there was any action in the Alan Wake field, but right now there’s more than a lot: both DLC packages are out and both have gotten rave reviews and sold quite nicely, I’m told. I even composed some new tracks for both – actually, so much that there should be leftovers soon on Soundcloud, I guess.

If all goes well, I’ll be at the Awards sucking in the atmosphere and everything, but I’m not holding my breath, as my autumn seems to be full of action. I don’t know whether it’s the AW recoil/repercussion, but the phone’s been ringing in an accelerating tempo. Always a nice situation, isn’t it?

There are a few things going on right now, one of them being Slusnik Luna album (again, it’s not easy to arrange schedules between three people, but we’ll manage) and several tiny game projects, all very unlike AW, all very fun and laughable. The first single of the SL album is coming out soon (I hope), more details to follow. I suggest following @slusnikluna tweets for realtime info.
